Last night he complained his hand and shoulder hurt. Today I'm contemplating guilt

Sympathy like. I'm right there with you 5 degrees, a glazing of ice and 2 or so inches of snow over that.

Sympathy like.

OK...
The precip is definitely building to the northwest and heading southeast towards us. But, it's still 60 degrees out...

I am flying to Gatwick tomorrow and on to MCO on Wednesday.
It has been awhile since I have been so excited for something, I'm trying to be calm and not rub it in my friends and family's faces but inside I am

Ultimately 8pm. Along with her learning curve for the new kitchen toy is that 'prep time thing' that she doesn't have down quite yet.

And it was yummy. She has that flavor thing down!

Flavor is all that matters!

I will take lots of pictures and post them in my life trip report that I will be attempting. Not sure if I can keep people interested for 2 weeks...

Always interested. I actually seem to keep up with live trip reports better that the tried and truel

That all looks good!! I actually have the Cuisinart version--same thing as the Instant Pot. Big learning curve for moi. It's just really different and has extra steps. I tried it again this weekend (only used it twice since Dec. when I first got it), and I made pulled pork. Never made that before, but it came out pretty good, in spite of my lack of culinary skills. Hubs really liked it.

DD says thanks, I passed on the compliment. Glad you tried the pulled pork. It use to be a favorite of mine to make when we had parties or family gatherings. Feeds a lot and is reasonable. Great that The Hubs enjoyed it.

Easy clean up and yummy food, that's my kind of dinner.

Me I try hard to clean up as I go along when I am cooking. When my tummy is full the last thing I ever scrape up the energy for is clean up. So this one pot thing is nice.

Came back last night from Atlantic City. It was the largest competition we’d ever been to. Teams as far away from Canada. Dd’s team came in 2nd in their division. Missed first by .29. Super close. Lost to a team from Joisey @figmentfan423 . A few pics.

Thanks for sharing!!!

Congrats!!! 2nd in their division sounds more than respectable in a competition that large...!!!

I was thinking about you today while I was out. It was raining and so windy I had to lean into the wind and the rain was pelting my face. Not fun

Can't wait for you to see Palm Trees on Wednesday.

 

[donaldtoo]

I remember that! I don't remember the year either. For a while I thought it was another ride since I just couldn't place it anymore. I just remember the family talking to each other. So now I know it was Spaceship Earth. Their version worked better than Skype though.

That was the Jeremy Irons version ('94-'07).
I never rode the first iteration (Lawrence Dobkin/Vic Perrin...there still seems to be some debate...), but, have ridden everything from Walter Kronkite to present.
Without a doubt, one of my all-time favorite attractions of any kind, anywhere...!!!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Will do my final cruise TR posts soon. Other things needed attending to...life and all...!!!

OK gang, l be out...!
Awaiting...BLIZZARD '18: AUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!!
Y'all be cool and the sweetest of Disney dreams to one and all...!!!
See y'alllllllllll...!!!!!!!

Blah!

Yoplait just rebooted their terrible ad campaign of last year with their offensive #Yoplait Mom On commercials.

I thought they learned last year. Why launch commercials that will make Moms not buy their products for their kids? Hello Chiobani.

I was unlucky and had to work today. Ended up working from home because I still feel so lousy. My supervisor emailed me that she was going to the doctor. She ended up not coming in at all. Ah, cold and flu seasonn

Sorry to hear you still feel bad, I hope you improve soon.

My sympathies, hopefully it diverts away from you.

THNX, me too! I'm trying to send it to @MinnieM123

Winter storm warning for us beginning at midnight. Up to an inch of accumulation in some areas...ice, sleet, snow or any combination thereof.
This would be our third snow this season, if it indeed snows...very rare...!

I'm sorry usually that would get you a sympathy like but with the way winter has been going all the will get you is roommates
